PREFATORY NOTE
This index undertakes to deal only with the printed reports of administrative
officers, legislative committees, and special commissions of the states and with governors*
messages for the period since 1789. It does not refer to constitutions, laws, legislative
proceedings or court decisions, except in so far as they happen to be found in the class
of documents above mentioned. It attempts, on the other hand, to furnish a list, as
complete as possible, of all the documents and messages which fall within its scope, in
whatever form they may have been published, whether separately, in collected docu-
ments, legislative journals or volumes of laws, and to indicate the volume in which they
may be found. Unless otherwise indicated the material indexed is in the New York
Public Library. In some cases reference is made to reports and messages prior to
1789, and to publications other than public documents which it was felt would be
helpful to those likely to use the index, but no claim to completeness is made except in
ttye case of the documents and messages since 1789. In addition to furnishing a list of
reports and messages, the index undertakes to supply a reference by volume and page
to all material of economic importance which they contain, with the exception of that
contained in the reports of bureaus of labor. The reason for this exception is that
these reports have already been indexed by Carroll D. Wright, late United States
Commissioner of Labor,1 in a volume published by the Department of Labor in 1902.
Although the index is confined to matter of economic bearing, the term " economic ':
has been given a broad interpretation. In view of this liberal interpretation it is be-
lieved that the index will constitute a useful addition to the resources of students of
almost any aspect of American history.
It will be seen that the present index differs both in scope and character from
R. R. Bowker's " State Publications," the valuable pioneer work in this field. It is
narrower in scope than " State Publications " which aims to present a list not only of
reports and governors' messages but of all state documents; but in the field which the
present work covers it contains not only a more complete list of documents than has
hitherto been published but also an index of their contents in so far as these have an
economic bearing.
Each volume is divided into two parts. Part I contains references to general
sources of information and descriptive matter found in the documents. Part II contains
references to particular series of reports, and particular topics, arranged alphabetically
by topics. The references under each topic are divided into two groups, viz., " serial J:
and " non-serial." Within each of these divisions the arrangement is chronological.
1 Index of all reports issued by bureaus of labor statistics in the U. S. prior to Mch. 1, 1902. Wash., 1902.
287 pp. 8°.

4 PREFATORY NOTE
Anyone desiring information on any particular topic will, therefore, look for that topic
in its alphabetical order in Part II. Numerous cross-references will, it is hoped, make
it possible to discover with little difficulty all the material bearing on that topic.
Uniform entry words for subjects recurring in different states will be retained
throughout the series. It will thus be possible to make a study not only of the historical
development of an economic subject as reflected in the documents of an individual state
but also to make a comparative study of that development as it has taken place in the
country at large. To accomplish this purpose it has been necessary to make the selec-
tion of entry words without reference to the peculiarities of local usage, such peculi-
arities being recognized in the case of each state by cross-references. Unless otherwise
stated the size of the books is octavo.
The present volume is confined to the economic material contained in the printed
reports of administrative officers, legislative committees and special commissions of the
State of New Hampshire and in the messages of the governors of that state. This
volume has been preceded by a similar volume devoted to the State of Maine and will
be followed by volumes devoted to other states. The work when completed, will there-
fore, furnish an index to the economic material in the reports and governors' messages
of all the states of the Union.

Bank Commissioners
Pursuant to sees. 22 and 23, Rev. Statutes.
The first act relating to bank comrs. was passed July
5, 1837. It provided for the apptmt. of three
comrs. for a term of one yr. each. The work
of the comrs. related to discount banks. No serial
repts. were issued. It was not until July, 1841,
that the comrs. were given charge of the savings
banks of the state. The first ann. rept., made In
1844, was preceded by several special repts. ;
see below under " non-serial " group.
From 1844 to 1864 the names of the comrs. are given
in connection with banks examined. From 1844
to 1862 the returns are grouped under examiners.
From 1862 to 1864 the grouping is discarded, but
the name of the examiner is retained under each
bank examined. In 1864 the date of examination
only is given, and is abandoned thereafter. Be-
ginning In 1861 the date of incorporation of each
bank is given, and with 1865 the date of expira-
tion of the charter. In 1859 the first recapitu-
lation of aggregate returns was made.

Before 1841 this rept. was in the form of a stmt made
by the warden ; after that date it is an ann. rept.
of the officers of the prison. Kept*, for 1891-
1894 are marked on t. p. v. 1, pt. 2-5, and are
paged consecutively. From about 1838 each ann.
rept. contains in tabular form, beginning with yr.

of the no. of convictions, discharges, pardons, etc.
*Contains copy of contract entered into by warden on
